CA's and SR's both have their downsides, CA's rattle from the bottom Sr's rattle from the top, both undeserved press in a way, as like most rattly turbo engines that the owners say "are Sh*t" its down to poor maintenance. and abuse.
i hate the sound of sr20's that inane farting drone drives me insane. much prefer the raspier revvier nature of the CA. but then sr is a good cheap upgrade really, much more tuning parts available for them now, and 200cc's bigger (world of difference;) )

its only the VVC pulley on the SR's that rattle... and it is possible to find SR's which don't have this "feature", mine in my old S14 didn't up to 100K miles when I sold it, in the SR you also have the advantage of Timing Chains rather than belts ...

which engine is the 1800 SOHC turbo which was in those things? the one found also in Reliant SS1's?
Always looks an interesting lump cos there is a place to bosh a second set of plugs, which i find intriguing.

yup, same one that can be found in some Reliant SS1's the CA18ET, almost the same engine that the S13 has, but the S13's CA18DET is 16v twin cam instead of the ET's 8v single cam... both engine's are very very tunable..

Some of the CA18ET engines came as standard with 8 plugs in emission controlled areas. However the additional sparks only worked at lower rpms.
Getting more than 200bhp out of the CA18ET requires some special thought. The head is hugely restrictive and the injector capacity is very low so fueling is an issue beyond this. A handful of ECU's have been modified but its normally easier to go aftermarket management.

Anyone else notice that the silhouette racer is more likely an older S110 bodystyle modified with later S12 front end? Check the door glass, completely different.
All a bit academic really, as I think these silhouette cars are just panels dropped onto a pukka racing chassis.

That's the fellow. Looks like they chopped out the thick pillar between the rear windows to make resemble S12 a little more.
That S110 you found on ebay.fr is great. Look how ludicrously overbodied they are with narrow track and huge overhangs. Used to be a few around in East Anglia, US-spec models bought over by USAF base people.

yeah they do look a bit absurd. I have a phone number of a french scrapyard with what looks like a cracker in, i have never dared ring them up though.
